Abstract
Background: Aortic diameter & heart failure have been the subject of few research, & the findings of existing enquiries have been conflicting. Heart failure is more common in men than in women with a top 5th enlarged aortic root, based on the Cardiovascular Health Study. Reverse causality may apply to this cross-sectional data.
Aim: This study was designed to examine the association among aortic root diameter (AoD) and incident heart failure (HF). AoD rises with age, which might lead to arterial stiffness, afterload alterations, cardiac remodeling, in addition to HF development.
Results: Among all the study patients, aortic annulus diameter (AAD) & ascending aorta diameter had significant direct correlations with Sinus of Valsalva diameter (SVD), Sinotubular junction diameter, LVEDV(A4C), LVESV(A4C), LVEDV(A2C), LVESV(A2C), E/A, LA volume, TR Vmax, Age, while had significant indirect correlations with PHT MV, IVRT & EF
Conclusion: This study proved that there's correlation between Aortic root diameter & Heart Failure.
